Los Angeles has until midnight ET on Friday night to decide whether or not they want to pick up Haren's $15.5 million option. He does have a buyout of $3.5 million, which means that it would likely cost $12 million to pick up the righty.

The 32-year-old right-hander went 12-13 last season with a 4.33 ERA in 176 2/3 innings for the Angeles, his second full season in Anaheim after being acquired during the 2010 season. Haren battled back pain in 2012, and he spent almost three weeks on the disabled list in July with what was diagnosed as lower back stiffness. It was his first trip to the disabled list.

Even with that trip to the DL in 2012, Haren is averaging 220 innings per season since 2005.

Haren does have a 1-5 record with a 4.08 ERA in six career starts at Fenway Park.
